Nothing major but this week, just checking everything on the Clio before the Nurburgring trip this weekend.I bought a scissor jack from Arctic 182 as the Clio 172 jack broke on the plastic bit where the handle hooks in. The Clio is too low for a trolley jack and would rather take a scissor jack...

Ok, so last night i popped down to my friends workshop to do a couple of jobs on the Clio. The main job was to raise front and rear suspension, it looked good for lows but the drive shaft was bottoming out so we raised it about 30ish millimetres at the front and i'd say about 15-20mm at the...

I found when shopping around that most companies ask for convictions over the last 5 years, the company i'm with now were over the last 3 years which was handy for me as my points are just out of the 3 year time period. A first for me though is the company require a photocopy of my drivers...

I have the FK Konigsport coilovers with Koni dampers on my white Clio 172, i think they're a decent kit for the money. Adjustable ride height, damping and negative camber

I remembered to take it out!

Thats some weight loss! I did wonder whether the weight they gave me was when i drove it on the weighbridge with me in it! The office is right next to the bridge, she gave me the weight as soon as i asked. No harm in going somewhere else for a 2nd opinion. There is more weight to come off if i...

I won't...... :D

No air con, i'm using the Clio Cup alternator setup too. Polycarbs is an option when i have funds

What was the chap working out in that thread?? I get the power to weight, why has it been multiplied by 1.08 to give him a different BHP? I'm assuming he's working out the equivalent total weight loss can equate to something different

Ok, so based on that figure and multiplying by 1.08 that gives me 193.4bhp based on the workings out on this previou thread i dug out on Cliosport. Is that correct? i knew you'd work it out Rob :D http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?161412-Weight-loss

It feels good, i wasn't sure what to expect weight wise so this figure (if correct) gives me something to work on if needs be. I wouldn't mind working out the bhp/tonne, weight loss to bhp equivalent :o

I'll look into having it weighed somewhere else just to see, it was a round 960 which i thought interesting, not like 961 or 958... who knows whether a figure was rounded up. on the Phs1 Clio petrol gauge it was on the last 'dot' not on the red. I don't know how many litres are left in the tank...

If i were chasing figures there are a few places and items i could go for and have done, lighter wheels, cage out, drill holes in the bumpers, remove plastic blocks etc from bumpers, cut weight out the doors tailgate etc, lighter seats. There's probably more but i'm happy with how the Clio...

I believe £5 for this particular weighbridge, i asked and they said just put it on the weighbridge... I didn't pay

I've been mildly interested in having the Clio weighed, i'm not chasing figures just curious. So, as there's a scrap merchants round the corner from me i popped down there. Weights below copy and pasted from another thread on this forum. MK1 172 - 1035kg Mk2 172 - 1110kg 172 Cup - 1011kg 182 -...

Next time i buy a 10 piece KFC bargain bucket i'll remember not to throw it away after eating all the chicken and fries :D

I really need to read the South East meets boards more often :dapprove:

It's weird, building the Clio was all adrenalin as it was happening at a quick pace and really enjoyed doing it. The anticipation of seeing the end result..... And now.... It feels like 1 big come down, built just to how i wanted it but not getting why i'm not making the most of it. And now...

The missus wanted to pop into B&Q and this was in the car park at about 15.30pm HK 02 *** number plate, looked completely std

Aaah thanks for the offer :D i imagine its a world away from a std cup though :D Whereabouts in Essex are you?

What make suspension are you using

That looks real nice with the pro race wheels, are they 15s? Brands, a track i really need to get on, awesome

I know.... I'm having a crazy few days dwelling on things :S

Showing my age but mine was a pastel blue Mk1 Ford Fiesta 998cc, i bought it before passing my test, 4 weeks after i bought a black Peugeot 205 GTI 1.6

I loved driving my Odyssey Blue Clio phs1 172 for over 2 years up until April this year, i couldn't think of a reason for selling as i enjoyed driving it everyday. I thought buying the white Clio would take the enjoyment level and fun factor to better highs but for some strange reason it doesn't...

I've seen a couple of 172 cups in some ads, i've e mailed 1 on Pistonheads to see if they still have it
